MVPAI
MVPAI
in a Week.
What does it really take to build a product with AI tools? Walk the whole MVPAI route in five days: one day of teaching, then four practical days that take your idea to a working slice built with Claude, and an honest decision about what comes next.
How the week runs
Five consecutive days, online, five hours a day. Day 1 teaches the whole route. Days 2 to 5 are practical: a short briefing, about four hours of guided lab work on your own idea, and a gate to close the day.
| Day | What you do | You leave with |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · The route | Learn the five MVPAI phases, how to brief Claude and how to build safely | The route, your tools set up, a one-line idea |
| 2 · Map and Validate | Find the real problem and test it with a real person | Your product proposition and a build objective |
| 3 · Plan | Choose the smallest useful product and prototype it | A tested prototype, a data model and your repository |
| 4 · Assemble | Build one slice with Claude Code, with tests and security checks | A working slice, tested |
| 5 · Ignite | Put it in front of someone, cost it, decide and demo | A demo, unit economics on a page and a decision |
Who it's for
- Founders bring their own idea.
- Corporate teams (product managers, business analysts, transformation and innovation teams) bring a problem from their work, alone or in pairs, using invented or anonymised examples and their employer's AI policy.
- No idea yet? Use the course case, an internal tool for handing over unfinished work between shifts.
No technical background is needed. You leave understanding what building with AI really involves, with a working slice to show for it. One week can't validate a market or launch a business; the MVP Founders Programme does that over twelve weeks.

Certificate of Completion
You earn the certificate when your work shows:
- All four practical-day gates passed (proceeding with conditions is allowed)
- Every must-pass check in force met
- Your working slice running, with its tests passing
- Your five-minute demo given on Day 5
Your instructor checks the evidence in your Product Book and code. It is a certificate of completion, not the MVP Founders Programme's graduation.
